Our child attended September 2021 to June 2023, with IEP. They ripped apart their IEP, removed services, & disabilities and supports! Use extreme caution for your child/children! My child has complex medical and disabilities, they didnt care one bit the harm they brought on her! Got an out of district placement, as our child refused to return to FSK, they followed them there and destroyed any chance of changes or repairs that could have been done to her IEP. The emotional and traumatization she endured is beyond unthinkable.
They ended up on Home & Hospital 1/2 of a year full time, then continued half days on Home & Hospital til they graduated! We highly recommend families to think twice with placing their children at FSK that has a IEP, and with disabilities and medical conditions.

Im only a freshman rn (3/7/22) but i love it already. best tip for incoming freshmen to help you get along well with your upperclassmen is to not be obnoxious and try not to stir up too much drama. if you act immature the upperclassmen wont rlly like you that much. we like our quiet and we dont wanna have a headache first thing in the morning.

i usually don't have homework. and when I do, it's usually not that demanding. The few times I have a lot of homework, it takes me only a few hours.

I have some really great teachers who care about our grades and education. They try to help us understand the concepts through different activities, as well as bring us in for extra help.The programs in place to help us succeed are great, and I have made a great place for myself, both in terms of academics and extracurriculars.

There are an excellent set of teachers at this high school. They are passionate about improving student learning and over the past few years have made strides trying to get the community involved again in the school. There are many completer programs in the school as well as numerous types of course offerings great for our children. A few years ago it was an OK school, they have done remarkable things to improve the quality and school pride over the last few years.
